GaN Systems demonstrating wireless power transfer and commercial power systems at APEC

In booth #1501 at the Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition (APEC 2017) in Tampa, Florida (27-29 March), GaN Systems Inc of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada – a fabless developer of gallium nitride (GaN)-based power switching semiconductors for power conversion and control applications – is giving live demonstrations of commercial systems that use GaN transistors in wireless power transfer and power module applications. The event also showcases customer-built, commercial systems that use GaN transistors to power a diverse range of applications, including DC/DC converters, energy storage systems, and electric vehicle (EV) traction inverters.

Among the new systems enabled by GaN transistors that will be demonstrated by GaN Systems are:

a 150W transmitter wirelessly powering an airborne drone in real-time, operating at 13.56MHz;

a 5-10kW half-bridge power block (eight paralleled GaN transistors and a matching driver card, forming a complete building block for high-power systems);
